Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2506940A] A beverage dispensing machine (2) has a housing that provides a receptacle (10) for receiving an expandable cartridge (12) that is coupled into the machine so that it can receive a charge of water. A kneading system (22) is provided to act on the cartridge within the receptacle. The kneading system is activated after water has been allowed to enter the cartridge and mechanically acts on the exterior of the cartridge in order to compress and release regions of the cartridge in order to move the contents of the cartridge around inside the main compartment and bring them into close contact with a charge of water from the supply. The kneading system may comprise may comprise a pair of rollers 40 which operate on opposite major surfaces of the exterior of the cartridge, or on one side only. The rollers may be mounted on a motorized sledge (42). Alternatively the rollers may rotate about an axial mounting or kneading paddles (130) may press against the surface.
